Protein Sequencing
- N-Terminal analysis determines the amino terminal end of the polypeptide chain using:
- Sanger's method
- Edman's method
- C-Terminal analysis determines the carboxy terminal end of the polypeptide chain using:
- Carboxypeptidase method
- Edman's sequencing method involves:
- Chromatography

- Spectroscopy
Protein Purification
- Highly purified protein is essential for determining its amino acid sequence and for use in biological, medical, and pharmaceutical processes
- Protein purification involves isolating a specific protein from a mixture of thousands of different proteins
- Classic approaches use differences in target protein properties, such as:
- Salt precipitation (salting out)
- Chromatographic techniques
Chromatographic Techniques
- Chromatographic separations partition molecules between two phases: mobile and stationary
- Stationary phase matrices interact with proteins based on their:
- Charge
- Hydrophobicity
- Ligand-binding properties
- Types of chromatography include:

Affinity Chromatography
- Affinity chromatography exploits the high selectivity of proteins for their ligands
- Proteins can be purified using immobilized substrates, products, coenzymes, or inhibitors
- Bound proteins are eluted by competition with soluble ligand or by disrupting protein-ligand interactions using:
- Urea
- Guanidine hydrochloride
- Mildly acidic pH
- High salt concentrations
SDS-PAGE
- SDS-PAGE is a technique used to separate proteins based on their molecular weight
- It involves polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of the anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
